Resumo“Nakagin Capsule Tower Building” established in 1972 is a world well-known architecture as a symbol of Metabolism architecture designed by Kisho Kurokawa. The architect regards capsule as living cell which have to be replaced every 25 years in order to realize the recycle system of Metabolism architecture, but never exchanged. “Nakagin Capsule Tower Building” is apartment house for single man. Total 140 capsules are attached to the core shaft. At the same time, he designed his summer cottage “Capsule K” in Karuizawa consisted by 4 capsules as an experimental house.
